RTÉ You're A Bollocks

RTÉ'sCharity You're A Star is back. And it promises to be worse than ever. Oh yes.

The judges for the current run of the show are Brendan O' Connor, Brian McFadden and Amanda Brunker... Three of the most detestable and vacuous arseholes ever to have congealed on Irish soil. For shame RTÉ, for shame. Christ, one almost feels nostalgic for the senile slithering of Lizard Martyn.

Competing on the show will be Twink's moustache, Joe Duffy's sense of righteous indignation, Gerry Ryan's diet pills, a TG4 weather presenter and a bag of cranky hammers.

And now may come the riposte; "Ah, sure it's for charity!" Charity eh? Can I ask you this then? On what slab of moral high ground do you balance yourself whilst crossing the road to avoid a chugger or two?
